Charitable objects
3.1 THE CHARITY'S OBJECTS ("OBJECTS") ARE SPECIFICALLY RESTRICTED TO THE FOLLOWING:
3.1.1 TO ADVANCE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC THROUGH, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH:
A) A LUNCHTIME MINISTRY OF AN EVANGELISTIC AND TEACHING NATURE TO THE LOCAL WORKING COMMUNITY;
B) SUPPORTING OTHER WORKPLACE MINISTRIES BY PROVIDING FACILITIES FOR MINISTRY STAFF;
C) PROVIDING FACILITIES THAT ENABLE SMALL GROUP AND ONE-TO-ONE MEETINGS, OCCASIONAL AND AD-HOC TALKS AND EVENTS AND RELATED ADMINISTRATION ASSOCIATED WITH ALL SUCH ACTIVITIES; AND
D) ENSURING THAT OUR PRIMARY FACILITY, THE ST NICHOLAS COLE ABBEY CENTRE FOR WORKPLACE MINISTRY IS FIT FOR PURPOSE,
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING DOCTRINES:
E) THERE IS ONE GOD IN THREE PERSONS, THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
F) GOD IS SOVEREIGN IN CREATION, REVELATION, REDEMPTION AND FINAL JUDGMENT.
G) THE BIBLE, AS ORIGINALLY GIVEN, IS THE INSPIRED AND INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD. IT IS THE SUPREME AUTHORITY IN ALL MATTERS OF BELIEF AND BEHAVIOUR.
H) SINCE THE FALL, THE WHOLE OF HUMANKIND IS SINFUL AND GUILTY, SO THAT EVERYONE IS SUBJECT TO GODÔÇÖS WRATH AND CONDEMNATION.
I) THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, GODÔÇÖS INCARNATE SON, IS FULLY GOD; HE WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN; HIS HUMANITY IS REAL AND SINLESS; HE DIED ON THE CROSS, WAS RAISED BODILY FROM DEATH AND IS NOW REIGNING OVER HEAVEN AND EARTH.
J) SINFUL HUMAN BEINGS ARE REDEEMED FROM THE GUILT, PENALTY AND POWER OF SIN ONLY THROUGH THE SACRIFICIAL DEATH ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVE AND SUBSTITUTE, JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY MEDIATOR BETWEEN THEM AND GOD.
K) THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN CHRIST ARE PARDONED ALL THEIR SINS AND ACCEPTED IN GODÔÇÖS SIGHT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST CREDITED TO THEM; THIS JUSTIFICATION IS GODÔÇÖS ACT OF UNDESERVED MERCY, RECEIVED SOLELY BY TRUST IN HIM AND NOT BY THEIR OWN EFFORTS.
L) THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONE MAKES THE WORK OF CHRIST EFFECTIVE TO INDIVIDUAL SINNERS, ENABLING THEM TO TURN TO GOD FROM THEIR SIN AND TO TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST.
M) THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN ALL THOSE HE HAS REGENERATED. HE MAKES THEM INCREASINGLY CHRIST-LIKE IN CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOUR AND GIVES THEM POWER FOR THEIR WITNESS IN THE WORLD.
N) THE ONE HOLY UNIVERSAL CHURCH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST, TO WHICH ALL TRUE BELIEVERS BELONG.
O) THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN IN PERSON, TO JUDGE EVERYONE, TO EXECUTE GODÔÇÖS JUST CONDEMNATION ON THOSE WHO HAVE NOT REPENTED AND TO RECEIVE THE REDEEMED TO ETERNAL GLORY.
